Prosecutor General Johannes Tomana is part of a (CIO) Central Intelligence Organisation boob that eventually led to his arrest, emerged on Thursday as the court heard.
The magistrate hearing his case’s submissions was on Thursday told the two accused people in the Gushungo Dairy farm bombing whose charges Tomana withdrew are in fact members of the CIO wing in the military.
Representing Tomana, the lawyer Thabani Mpofu revealed to the court the two accused persons whose charges were withdrawn were members of the military intelligence who had been deployed to foil the bombing plot.
The court was told that the Prosecutor General withdrew the charges to make them witnesses.
Harare provincial magistrate Vakai Chikwekwe ordered the state to call the investigating officer Assistant Commissioner Thulani Ncube to explain the validity of the arrest of Mr Tomana.
This was after the defence argued the state did not place before the court sound evidence that can warranty the dismissal of application challenging prosecution of the Prosecutor General.
Cross examining the investigating officer, Advocate Mpofu said the constitution of Zimbabwe clearly outlines that the Prosecutor General is the one who has the mandate to review work by the Commissioner General of police not the other way round.
Advocate Mpofu queried the authority of prosecution as the area prosecutor Jonathan Murombedzi is alleged to have recused himself from prosecuting Mr Tomana.
The advocate indicated the arrest and prosecution of his client was driven by the police and not the laws of the land.
